Cover illustration. The larvae of the leaf beetle species Podagricomela shirahatai are specialized leaf‐miners. In this issue of the Journal of Morphology, Hua et al. (pp. 446–457 10.1002/jmor.20352 ) present a detailed morphological analysis of the head structures of P. shirahatai and discuss the morphological adaptations to leaf mining in these larvae.
